Lyrically thought-provoking and dynamically impressive lyricism with a unique one-of-a kind old school sounding flow. That is how you can best describe rising rapper and award-winning actor, Jharrel Jerome’s sound. On his just recently released single, Chinatown. Who is the newest artist me and the rest of the team here at TheHipHopDemocrat our highlighting. In our always very popular New Artist Spotlight feature.
Just like his Bronx, New York upbringing. You can tell rapping and Hip-Hop is something that comes with such ease to Jerome. Just as much as his award-winning acting. Which you can truly hear as he raps with such ease over the airy, piano-driven production, punctuated by flurries of strings, horns, and sounds of bustling subway cars. On his newest release that is inspired by his hometown of New York City.
Chinatown, definitely shows that Jerome will not only be around for a longtime as a great and eventually legendary award-winning actor. But he has the skills and talent to be remembered just as much for his rapping and emceeing, just as much. If not more.
